The most effective way to ensure the cybersecurity of your small business is to prevent any potential threats before they can damage your reputation or ability to serve your customers. While technology is constantly advancing, you might not be able to leverage every new development to your advantage. Here are some newer technologies to keep an eye on – after all, they affect how you can implement cybersecurity measures.

Analytics for Big Data

Big data is everywhere. No matter what your company does, you will need to make use of as much data as possible. Storage is one concern that can be easily dealt with, but what about analyzing all of that data? Unfortunately, the more data you are responsible for overseeing, you will have more to worry about when it comes to finding data storage solutions and implementing cybersecurity measures to keep it all safe.

AI

You might already know about AI, short for Artificial Intelligence. As incredible and at times, superhuman, your cybersecurity experts on staff are, they can’t be everywhere and do everything at once. Luckily, that’s where computer algorithms enter the picture. These algorithms can identify potential problems, such as the latest virus or ransomware attack, and deal with them without needing operator input. Even so, true artificial intelligence is hard to find. In fact, it is one of those cutting-edge topics in science, technology, and business that always seems like science fiction. So, to better help you when designing your cybersecurity infrastructure, make sure to equip the AI you have with machine learning.

Machine learning is the element of AI design that allows it to run independently of programming instructions from its human operators. Over time, the AI can draw on past experiences to deal with future problems. If your division or business is understaffed for the time being, having an AI with advanced machine learning may be a temporary solution until you can fill that vacant position.

Blockchain

Digital information is the way of the future, and that isn’t just related to data. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies recently saw an explosion of popularity and visibility. However, that shouldn’t overshadow how you deal with blockchain, the technology controlling how cryptocurrencies gain and lose value. Blockchain is immensely useful for implementing authentication measures, not to mention for providing an additional layer of defense against breaches and linking up with the Internet of Things.
